Coloured, 316 8. A NEW and COMPLETE SCHOOL CATALOGUE ; containing ALL the Boob now in use.—Gratis. The title of this small volume will sufficiently de. scribe the nature of its contents ; it contains sundry papers, essays, and reviews, which we are veritably assured were rejected by the editors of several well known ptriodicals; the writers",names we are left to guess front their initials, or if we please, from their style ; between both, the reader's sagacity will for the most part, we doubt not, lead him to a tolerably ac curate conclusion. We ,say, for the most part, be cause some of the writers are not of such general no toriety as to enable us to form a very certain judg ment. Suffice it to say, that in those cases where there are enough marked and known characteristics to judge by, we think each author sustains his style, re putation, and character to perfection. The " Un sentimental Journey" of Elia, is admirable; we can not conceive what the editor of the " London" can have been about when he condemned it ; the journey to town, the steam-boat, the landing, the dream, in short the whole trip, are absolutely Ella himself! Cobbett's letter to the Hampshire farmers is perfectly . inimitable. The Review of Tremain, by Christopher North, is so perfect a specimen, that the explanation given in the note is absolutely necessary to account for its non-appearance in Blackwood. The fact was, as we are informed, that the conductors of that imma culate and amusing miscellany discovered just in time that the excellent subject of their correspondent's remarks was, in point of fact the production, not of' a cockney, nor of any such person, but of a gentleman not only ofrank; family, fortune, and politieal influence, but a .Tory and a Minister ! How far they may have been correct in their information may be doubted : however, they believed it, and the explanation is satis factory, We would recommend all reviewers who want' a model of cutting up to read this article. The delightful egotism of Billy Hazlitt in '" The Spirit of the Age," is ,truly . charming and characteristic. For one specimen take the following paragraph on nick names:— " But they have another method, which is a still greater ' favourite with them than any of the preceding, and not without reason, for it is in sonic cases more effective than any other. It consists in the artillery of nick-gains. A nick-name is at once irresistible and unanswerable. It is a dab of moral mud thrown at a man. If thrown skilfully it is sure to stick, and if it sticks it is sure to.make the bearer of it look ridiculous. If the first Noble , mail or the finest gentleman in the land were to walk along London streets, with a great dab of mud upon his cheek, the very chimney-sweepers would laugh and " point the finger" at him as he passed. And precisely so it is with a nick-name. There is no gainsaying it. It is worse than an " ill-name ;" and those who give it might as welt swear away a man's life at once, and have hint hanged outright. And so they would if they dared." And again the description of his style is the very happiest exemplification of it.. " We have but little more to say of Mr. Haalitt, and his works. The Most remarkable feature of his style is, that there is no re markable feature belonging to it. He studiously avoids the use of uncommon and obsolete words ; and never uses a common word in an uncommon sense. But perhaps it would he impossible to give a just account of.what his style would seem to aim at being, without repeating, almost in so many Words, what he has himself said in describing his notion of " The Familiar Style." We must therefore refer the reader to that essay, in the second volume of " Table Talk." How far it is conformable with that notion is another question. In some particular instances, and where he has taken paini to make it so, (as for example in the Essay itself Just referred to), we take it to be the very best specimen of that style extant; and we agree with him in thinking that style the best. But generally speaking it falls short of what it aims at being ; or rather it goes beyond. It is frequently so idiomaticul as to be quite enigmatical, to all but those who are up to the slang of the last quarter of a century. It is some times NO very " familiar" that it " breeds' contempt." Its plainness often borders on ugliness. In avoiding say thing like an oratorical construction, it is fre quently broken into bits. Its periods have no more words than some writers have clauses. It is any thing but long-winded. It seems to be written for persons afflicted with asthma. You may read it aloud while smoking your cigar; puff and paragraph, al ternately. Not that we would recommend this practice : for though not professors of it ourselves; we should conceive that smoking, like painti ng , requires' the whole man." We have not room t o p art i cu l ar i ze more of these productions ; except that we cannot for a moment doubt the identitic of Leigh Hunt in " Boceacio and Fiametta ; and tat the Review of " Brother Jona. t h an ," rejected from the Edinburigh,somewhat pu z zl es us, inasmuch as . it is Jeff ey to t h e very life. It strikes in the b oo k. W e cannot refrain g i v ing the foll owing pa ssage . " Not to stand shilly shally over it, (which is a mo d e o f treat fursom as the best th ing treat ment it will bear less than any other,) Brother Jonathan is, we win venture to say, the most extraordinary work of its kind which this age of extraordinary works has put forth —in Great Britain ' 'we mean : what America or Germany may have produced in this sort, is more than we ore able to say; and the former of those for any thing we know to the con countries in particular, m ay , catalogue of similar works, written con trary, be able to count a , • • • by the same hand—or rather hands— . fel we imagine this person employ s both his hands at the same time, one_ on one volum e, and the oth er on anot h er ! At l eas t, we can at the moment hit upo n of no othe r th eory , to exp l a i n th e extraordinary and headlong rapidity of styl e , as w the insane incoherence matter , well vail thro ug ho ut these vo l umes —Which "prevail " hich pr e . throughout them, as but which (be it expressly understood) are far from being their only di stinguishi ng c h aracter i st i cs , a nd which lire still less th e causes of our feeling called upon to notice them. i o g o e saya In faat, th e author of these volumes, w h oever h e may lie whether whether this be his ftrstwork o t ‘ h ‘r e ah o i t i e fi n o fi t :is a t t h h ait e , V o alg t eaves, s (and' or a sa "ad the w least of him, the most origi . it May, from p its internal evidence , be chi* nal writer of his d ay ; and. we " are greatly m i sta k en indeed,. if be will not turn out to he, without one exception, the moat extraor dinary gift e d o f t h em all, as fares mere natural faculties go. How tion of those faculties, or far adventitious circumstances may interfere, to frustrate the opera nd, is more than we shall pretend to predict, in the present early stage of one eeptain _. r • but that no turn their effects to evil account instead o f ranee with their possesso r drcunistances can ever neutralize them we are confident. Brother Jonathan, ifit ' must be classed at all, ma y be placed ender the head of th at altogether modern anomaly, the historical novel; and if an expreas object must b e 'en e Ito it, it will be that of illustrating i the mann ers of the Am eri can s, and of the New Englanders n particular, at the co mmencement of the American Revolution ar y War. And in faet s the w o rk illustration, in a most strikin g and.effee doe furnish this and nye manner ; as no other work does, and no other writer that we are acq uainted with is at' a ll li kely to do. But the truth is, that neithe r the above, nor any thing else, can be assigned as the specific object and end of this singular production,—.which we conceive to have been We live in an age when, for the first time in the history of mankind, authors may be said to be nafritral productions ; that is to say, they sprung up necessarily out of the circumstanfte of the times. We imagine that the writer of Brother Jonathan was born an author, and that he could no more have failed to fulfil his call ing, than he could to have exercised any other of the active time tions of his nature. Ilia mind is of such a character and consti tution, that it could not choose but fill itself to overflowing with ideas and images, no matter by what circumstances it might have been surrounded; and being so filled, it cannot choose but pour its contents forth, like an overflowing rased, reales* of all conse quences, and without any necomary reference to recipients. If he were thrown upon a desert island to-morrow, and left without the remotest hope of escape from it, he .would, the day after, begin writing at the rate of fifty pages aylay, and never cease till his materials were exhausted: w e near his material ones, for his moral Ones would never be likely to fail. The former deficiency being, under present cireumstances i ,not within. hope, we see no probable end whatever to the proditaions of his pen. At any rate Dr. Southey may abandon his reported project of achieving hu -1 mortality, by wasting more than Voltaire did ; for here is a person who, if he lives to the ordinary age of man, may, if he pleases, write more than Voltai re h as wr i tten , and all that Dr. Southey intends to write; and it will be his own fault, and not Nature's, he does if not write it all better than either ! Upon the whole, though these rejected articles cannot in their way be put in competition with the far-famed rejected addresses, yet we think the merit of the Editor, whose share in the present work we imagine is about the same as in the former, is very respectably sustained.; From the LONDON GAZETTE, JULY 25, Crown-Officr, July 20, 1826.

Copy of a Despatch from Major-General Turner, GoveD . - nor of Sierra Leone, to Earl Bathurst, on the subject of the ," Liberated Africans' Department" in that colony. SIERRA LEONE, JAN. 25. My Lord,—Amongst the many objects which in this colony lay claim to my attention, there are very few which require to be considered more than that which is called the . " Liberated African Department." However ade quate the arrangements might have been to the early state of this establishment, it is very, evident that they have not been so for some time past, and equally evident that, from the numbers of captured slaves brought into the colony, they become every day less so. There have been more than 20,000 slaves landed in this colony, and during the last year upwards of 2,400 have been emancipated. Should the trade in slaves continue to increase in the man ner in which it has done for the last two years,' there is no doubt, from. the activity of our cruisers, but the number brought in here will increase also, and will very shortly become a very large and unwieldly mass of people; indeed, they are so already : and it becomes a matter of very seri ous consideration how they are to be disposed of, or how they are to maintain themselves. I.lnder the arrangements hitherto prevailing, they have been distributed amongst the villages, where they have been for years supported in idleness by the Government ;. but the villages and the poor land of the mountains where they are situated, already begin to refuse to them a scanty subsistence, and they have begun to wander in search of better soil and easier sustenance; and the evident tendency of this is, that they will retrograde in the woods, into a state of nature and barbarism, or become vagrants about Freetown and the more popu l ous v ill a ges. 1, in some degree, meet this evil at present, by employing them on the public works, carry, ing bricks and other materials, giving them food, lodging, an d some clothing, at the public expense; and I have given them in mall numbers, and under registry, to re spectable people to cultivate land and for domestic pur poses. And it is found that under this system of p utt i ng them to easy and regular labour, such as they have been used to on their landing from the slave-ships, that they become ver y orderly good labourers; but in the eases where they have been located in the villages, and have re ceived.gratuitous maintenance, they can with difficulty be induced, to give a day's labour even for good wages. The expense of this establishment has been • , very great t I be lieve that the regulations under which I have reduced it d ur i ng , the list year, to the amount shown in the aecom p aying schedule of five years, may be safely persevere d in, and a still greater reduction made ; but as the whole system is defective, I cannot persuade myself that I can d o more than:to alleviate the evil. It would but lead to di s appointment to imagine, that a large m as s otpoor igno. rant people, without capital, skill, or industry, could be brought to maintain themselves, and to raise articles of export, without the assistance of labour wages: could such a system succeed even in England, the poor -rates might soon be abolished. There are twelve villages _established for the purpose Of civilizing, instructing, and keeping together these people, and with establishments apparently very suitable, although practically very inefficient ; a clergyman, a schoolmaster, and a superintendent to .each village, has the appearance of meeting every possible purpose, but unfortunately the untowardness of the climate, the prlV.a -tions, fatigues, and uncongeniality of the situations with the former habits of the people who bold them, and the absence of perional interest or hope of progressive ad vancement, soon cause a decrease of numbers. At pre sent there are in the colony but one church missionary (Mr. Raban), and three Lutheran clergymen, fi ve school masters, and four superintendents. Amongst these there is not one person who has the slightest knowledge of agri culture, nor-can I learn that there ever has been any per son employed in the colony who had any acquaintance either with European or Tropical agriculture. Under such disadvantages, it is not to be wondered that culti vation has not made much progress. Should it meet your Lordship's approbation that twelve superintendent* from the West India islands, where cotton and coffee cultiva tion is best understood, men of colmir, with an assistant or overseer to each, should be brought to this colony for the purpose of instructing these liberated Africans, and for superintending such plantations, as would not fail, under such facilities, to be formed here by capitalists, I am satis fied, that under such an arrangement, more would be done for the permanent improvement of the colony and the con - dition of these people, in a few years, than is to be ex pected under the present system in half a century. Euro peans cannot accomplish such objects here, and there are no native people capable of conducting such matters. The measure would not be attended with much ex pence—merely the conveying of those people here, to gether with a quantity of the best Sea Island cotton-seed to begin with. Coffee we have in abundance, indigenous, and of the finest quality ; and every merchant in the place, besides capitalists in London, with whom I am ac quainted, are ready to establish plantations, if superintend ents or overseers could be found. Should your Lordship be pleased to see in this plan any thing deserving your attention, the best way would be, perhaps, to direct the governors of some of the West India Islands to select and engage, at suitable salaries, coloured men Of the above de scription, and a conveyance to be ordered for them here ; and I feel quite satisfied that a large saving of public money would speedily follow, and much confusion be avoided, as well as embarrassment. The population would they get into a state similar to those of other countries— capital would diffuse its wholesome benefits- . -labour, in dustry, and skill, would bs sure to be rewarded. I 'must also respectfully submit for your Lordship's con sideration, the very inadequate provision which is made for.controling the expenses of this establishment; I am obliged to approve, sign, and become responsible for all expenditures on account of these people, and it is quite impossible that I can examine into these matters, which are very voluminous. I happen to have very good health and some acquaintance with business, but I cannot ex pect, in such a climate as this, to be able long to conti nue such labours; those about me have all suffered, and have lost their services. The superintendent of this de partment should be one of the first men in the colony, in point of salary, intelligence, and integrity. Your Lord , ship will perceive by the annexed account, that even with the little time which I have been able to devote to it, I hive accomplished a saving of one-half upon the average of five years, or upwards of 17,000/. a year upon the money alone issued here, .without reference to the stores from England, although the puMbers in the colony must he'greater than in any former year, as 2,400 new negroes were landed from the slave-ships during the year, a nuth ber far exceeding any of the years quoted. Your Lord ship will also perceive that I have reduced the number receiving rations one half; and am happy to say, that that the proper authorities report to me that the colony was never known to be so orderly, tranquil, and industri ous, as at present. The saving of the one year would touch more than meet the expense of the plan which I have had the honour to submit to your Lordship, and which I will pledge myself to make eminently successful, I feel greatly anxious about the responsibility of my being cons►dered public accountant to this department, from which I derive no advantage. I hope that your Lordship will be pleased to overlook any thing in this statement which may appear careless, as I have much to do, with little assistance. I have, Sir, &c.

Tun PLAIN of Jrfticßo.—The traveller Brorelii, in going from the Dead Sea to Jerusalem, took Jericho in his way. With respect to the apple of Sodom, whose outward form and beautiful appearance allures the eye, and deceives him who thinks to enJoy it, con taining within nothing but a light dusty substance, he believes that Halbequist has erroneously taken it for the fruit of the Salmon Melongena, which our tra veller found no where near Jericho, but only th $"- al num Sanctum. He himself conceives the apple of gall-nut, which is raised by the stings of insects upon I Sodom to h e nothing else than the hiadder-termed the Pistada Terebinthus.
